I am tiling a shower and would like to know how to finish the outside corners were the door will be placed. Its a custom shower so the door is being placed in the (sort of)center of the wall. The greenboard wall will be in the same plane as the door and the tile will be essentially be perpendicular to the door. Do I use a standard corner bead for drywall and us thinsett on the tile side?

Hi Ktm250rider,
The answers to your questions! Yes, use standard corner bead and yes, use thinset to install the tile. and make sure you install the door on both sides well into the studs underneath and caulk them well!
